Re: [RE-wrenches] Main Service Fuse rated higher than Bus Rating of attached sections?

1. You need to know the actual rating of any sub-section buss that you will be backfeeding with PV. Do not backfeed this buss with more than 100% of it's ampacity. 2. Evaluate 120% of the 4000A buss against the 3500A main and all PV backfeed all of the subsections. Mark Frye On 2/17/2015

Hi john What you are looking for on the brushes is End bell brush kit. $27 But I highly recommend Sunpumps brand submersible pumps. Vastly superior design, much easier to repair, and connecting the wires is super easy and won't leak On the overall pump design all these diaphragm pumps

Mark, Thank you, your response is very helpful! How does the 120% rule get applied to the 1000A sections in my example? When grid connecting downstream on the load side of the switches on the 1000A sections do we ignore the rating of the 1000A bus bar being protected by a 3500 Amp Fuse?

NEC 2008, 240.21 (B)(1)(1) a. Each of the smaller buss sections are feeders which are sized according to the tap rules. I believe the answer to your question is that the larger fuse can't protect the smaller buss. *But*, the likelihood of a short developing in that section of the circuit is

Wrenchers, I run into lots of Service Equipment that has a Large Service Switch which feeds multiple Sections with the Bus bar on each section rated significantly less than the main bus.A specific example that I am currently looking at has a 4000Amp Switch with a 3500 Amp Fuse which feeds 3

Marco and all wrenches, Thanks for the cost /benefit comparison on batteries. We need batteries that won't freeze easily. Even if the cost was the same we'd need to know more about the Aquions before we could risk installing them in the North. I need a fact check from someone on Lead

I have in the past just removed the brushes and gone to a GOOD hardware store of a starter alternator shop and found something similar and used sandpaper to fit the brushes. The brush material is quite soft. On Feb 17, 2015, at 2:49 AM, John wrote: Hi all, Can I call on the expertise of
